ArmInfo. The Armenian Human Rights Defender received alarms that snipers are clearly visible from the windows of the RA National Assembly, who are watching the opposition rally on Baghramyan Avenue.
As reported by the Ombudsman's office, it is monitoring this issue and reports that an open demonstration of firearms from the windows of the RA National Assembly building, including the demonstrative presence of snipers in military uniform, is a disproportionate means of ensuring security that the state uses in relation to a peaceful assembly, especially one where there are women and children.
The state can take security measures, but in each case it must take into account the specific situation; they should not hinder or interfere with peaceful assemblies, the statement said.
